It looks like Lenovo has got pccbbs back up and running! ...well sort of The files are all there and can be downloaded. The problem is you can't browse them to see what's there. The files are hidden. You have to know the name of the file to download it. For example If you go to the following link yo...

Yes, the same thing happened to me last week. I was trying to manually enter a username and password into password manager at the time. The next thing I know all of my passwords were gone!
I was not able to recover them.

I figured it was a Vista related issue because I never had this problem with XP.

What brand of DVD's did you use? I used a Verbatim DL DVD. As a further point... After posting this thread I loaded my nearly 1.5GB Outlook pst file from my desktop onto my T60 along with some needed data and applications. I hooked up the external USB harddrive and did another Complete PC backup. I...

I'm a big fan of making and keeping backups. Anyone who has experienced the loss of a hard drive will quickly gain backup religion. That's why I was eager to test Vista's Complete PC Backup function. I just wiped the hard drive on my T60 and installed Vista and activated it. What a perfect time to d...

I use the WinDVD codecs that came on my XP loaded T60. They work great in Vista. WMP11 works fine.

You need all of the files in this folder from your old XP preload:
C:\IBMTOOLS\APPS\DVDPlay

Simply copy them over to your new Vista Business install and run SETUP.

I run PD8 on all my Windows computers...laptops, desktops and servers. It's a great product and uses very little resources.

Go to their website and download the trial version and give it a spin for a week or so.

If you are talking about the brute force key hack, that has been proven by Microsoft to be a hoax. I read it on a MSDN blog this week.

I've got a 1GB stick of G Skill in my T60 along with the 1G stick from Lenovo. It works great! Ran Memtest+ for 12 hours with no errors.

I read a test on either Anandtech or Tom's Hardware where they tested various desktop value RAM and the G Skill performed very well.

Do you know if the new Thinkpads with Vista preloaded have a Configuration Utility?

I'm in the process of upgrading my T60 from XP Pro to Vista Business. Most everything seems to be available except the Configuration Utility.
What are others doing to handle that? Is there a workaround?

When you perform a BIOS upgrade you are given the choice to change the serial number.
Download the latest BIOS here and run the install program.

Check out this IBM commercial:

Basically it says "Software installer is being replaced by System Update 2.0. Software installer is still available at this time to allow you to transition to System Update 2.0."

I also can not get system update 2 to work anymore. It stops at 11% and then returns an error message. I have tried removing and manually reinstalling multiple times with no improved results. Any insight on fixing this would be helpful. After you uninstall it be sure to manually delete all of the f...

Finally I got System Update to work!

I manually downloaded it again from the Lenovo website, uninstalled it and reinstalled it 3 times. On the 3rd try it began to work. Weird!

Since I updated to System Update 2 I cannot get it to work. When I try to run it I get an error that says "System Update is being updated. Please wait while System Update restarts". When I click OK it closes System Update but nothing happens. It's been doing this for several weeks. Normally I use So...

I had the same problem... The solution was to upgrade from CSS6 to CSS7. The new version-7 of Client Security Solution allows multiple usernames and passwords for the same webpage. Be aware that some have had problems with this upgrade. I had to reload all of my passwords after the upgrade but that'...

No. You will void your warranty.
This sounds like a warranty claim to me. It should be fixed no problem.

I've had the same problem with some but not all updates. I ended up manually downloading those updates.

That is used to eject the modem module.

Does the 760ED have a modem? I notice on the side there is a icon of a phone and beside it there is what looks like a removable flap... yet it doesn't seem to be removable. :oops: Is this where the modem would go if there was one? Or am I just too stupid to pull the socket cover off of it. :? Yes, ...

Yes, it is ThinkPad Configuration Version 1.19, Utility version 1.19d. When I click the little PC Card Slots icon with the green light next to it up comes a popup window that says PC Card slots at the top. There is a General tab and an Allocated Resources tab. On the General tab there is an option t...

No. The green light does not mean cardbus is enabled. That only means that your PCMCIA slots are enabled.
You have click on PC Card Slots and enable cardbus.

I finally have a PCMCIA Cardbus USB 2.0 card working fine in my 760XD and 760EL. This is all I did: - Make sure you have Cardbus enabled in Thinkpad Configuration. Configuration Utility > PC Card Slots > Cardbus: Enable. More than likely you will have to free up an IRQ to get Cardbus enabled. I did ...

I don't have a dock so I can't help you with that but, I can tell you that I have a PCMCIA Cardbus USB 2.0 card working fine in my 760XD. After reading this thread I thought I would give it a try and I got it working. - Install your USB card drivers - Make sure you have Cardbus enabled in Thinkpad C...

The 760XD as well as the 760E and 760ED do support cardbus in Windows 9X. Cardbus has to be enabled in the Configuration Utility > PC Card Slots > Cardbus: Enable. I've used 10/100 LAN and wireless cardbus cards in all three. Cheers Edit: http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:760XD You are correct! I ...

When I upgraded my 600 with a PII 366 it was plug & play. There was nothing to configure. The bios immediately recognized the new cpu and it booted right up. You might try taking it apart again and just recheck that the cpu card and the video connections are tight. If you are seeing the same problem...

Sounds perfectly normal to me.

If you want the whole screen to be used at 800x600 you need to enable screen expansion in Thinkpad Configuration. Click on LCD and you'll see the option.

Anything less than the native resolution of the LCD looks pretty bad however.

It tries to download the update, then completely starts over, and then declares that the download failed. It happened on two of the 4, so no reason to believe it won't on the rest. I had the same problem with Software Installer. The Intel Chipset update and the Intel LAN update both would try to do...
